Anyhow, this is what I came up with, I'm glad to say my neighbour was pleased with it. Hope the couple are! I added part of the words from the song New York, New York which I thought was apt for the occasion, after all it will be a brand new start for them.
I had the couple image from the web a free download of lots of couple images. I added it to the Cameo and cut it out from black card. I had the skyline from the web and heat embossed it after printing it out. A few die cuts, and embossing and plenty of bling and it was done - ah! if only it had been that easy.
Everything went wrong, a bottle of glue run out, the other wouldn't flow, I put the bling through the Xyron sticker 3 times, as the first 2 had sticky on the wrong side, I had to print it out 3 times, as I cut the black card wrongly around the edge, then added it to the card upside down! It's a wonder I didn't throw it.

Well you had some adventures on this beauty like I have! But in the end, you have a super card. I love the silhouettes, and you're as good with the cameo as you are with PS! It's an inspired design, and the song lyrics - perfect. Hard to believe someone didn't know of Sinatra! Love all the special touches, with the embossing, diamond bling, the hearts inlay...it's just really special. I enjoyed reading about the creation (makes me feel like I'm not the only one who does these things!!!) Big hugs, TFS
